"Marketing apprenticeships have really taken off recently. They enable the apprentices to earn while they learn whilst giving the employer the advantage of a highly motivated member of staff who is keen to put their learning into practice. At the induction, managers are usually looking for their apprentices to improve their confidence by acquiring knowledge and skills, leading to behavioural change that is almost always recognised in their quarterly reviews." - Keith Rowland, Apprentice Tutor
